Alps Riviera

We enjoyed the cycle routes and the very pleasant accommodation

Another generally very good trip although not as scenic as others we have done with LVV. Step 6 is a bad day scenically & quality of the path.

This trip exceeded all our expectations, from the spectacular scenery in the shadow of the Jura mountains, and more distant Alps, the turquoise blue waters of the Rhone, passing through idyllic French countryside along farm tracks and dirt roads, visiting charming villages for cooling beers, never being on roads busy with traffic for more than a km or two, cycling without any bags but then every afternoon finding our luggage sitting waiting for us at our next hotel, and each hotel having it's unique appeal and character. Do yourself a favour and and book this trip!

This 6 day cycle from Geneva to Lyon, mostly following La Via Rhona, is a fantastic trip along side the torquoise blue waters of the Rhone, under the shadow of the Jura mountains and more distant higher Alpine peaks. (We enjoyed looking up at the mountains, but the route is perfectly planned to avoid any strenuous climbing) You cycle back roads through rural farmland and most of the route is practically traffic free. There are some very short sections on busier roads for a km or 2, but if you are a regular cyclist you probably wouldn't even give these sections a second thought. It is worth planning where you might want to have a lunch break the following day, and ensure any restaurant is open, many places seemed to close at 12noon, then open later in the day again. Of course packing a little cheese, bread and wine picnic is always a good back-up plan. The suggested timings for each route section on the app seem very accurate and allow for many photo opportunity stops and a very leisurely cycling pace, afterall you are on holidays!

Our four-day loop through the Savoie foothills and along the Via Rhona was just what we hoped it would be. Easy to moderate biking, mostly on quiet country roads and bicycle trails. (There was one unavoidable highway stretch through a gorge, but the drivers were generally considerate.) The bikes (hybrids) were in great condition, the hotels comfortable and the scenery wonderful. The logistics for bike delivery and baggage transfer went smoothly. Highlights included the Tunnel du Chat (bike/pedetrian tunnel through a high ridge), the loop visiting the marsh lands and a local wine producer (which we did as a full day trip), and wandering around the small town of Chanaz. Highly recommended if you'd like a trip without too many other tourists!

Our group was extremely satisfied with the trip. This is the first time our group has taken such a trip. Everything went amazing well. The app worked great to guide us. This is such a great way to experience another country.

This was our first European Bike Trip. It exceeded our expectations. The choice of hotels, food suggestions and overall support from Velo Voyageur were excellent. I look forward to another trip with Velo Voyageur.

The ViaRhona route was well-thought out and the accomodations were very adequate.
